on my feet

Well, after the hub-bub of last week and the week before, I'm finally starting to feel a bit more back to normal. I've been able to do housework and run errands without much fallout from my physical stamina.

But just as I'm regaining my feet, I'm treading on shaky ground because for the first time in a long time (since getting ill), we are taking a family vacation -- road trip to be exact. I am VERY excited, but at the same time just wondering what my body will do. When we travel to different states as a family, I usually opt for flying while my husband and kids drive. My last road trip was super scary because I had recently been diagnosed with Lyme and I started having seizures...while we were driving across 3 states. It was scary.

I'm certain this trip will be nothing like that, but still, we are being cautious. The next few days will be filled with packing and planning for a trip with 3 kiddos under age 5. Fun times :) I started making a packing list a few weeks ago and I think it's complete. Now to execute it!

How do you feel today?

I feel like one of those handy-dandy magnets you see on people's fridges that have 9 different faces looking back to you and depending on your mood you can put the little frame around "Happy" or "Silly" or "Angry". Only instead of moods, each day I decide varying degrees of physical feelings I am experiencing because of LYME DISEASE. For some reason blogging them helps.
